* FridgeLogic: In the beginning when Morgana steals the crystal, she leaves the pillow empty after two powerful magicians talked to her. Why not put a fake crystal in its place? Nobody would check too carefully and this entire episode could be avoided.

Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault: While Merlin should be locking Arthur's door at night, that doesn't mean that Merlin is the one tasked with protecting the keys. Arthur seems to be taking a bit more after his father than he'd like to admit.

* MostlyNarmless: Uther and Morgana's confrontation after Alvarr's sentencing. For some it's a tense scene in which Morgana sets her heart against Uther once and for all, for others she comes across as a petulant teenager yelling at her father over a man she barely knows - not helped by the "go to your chambers!" line, and the rather baffled look on Anthony Head's face once Morgana storms out.
** [[TakeAThirdOption Or maybe Morgana sees it as the former, Uther sees it as the latter, and the viewer is left to decide which is more accurate?]]

* ShooOutTheNewGuy: Alvarr is built up to be a major player in the show, and is a significant reason as to why Morgana definitively turns against Uther, but this is his first and only appearance.
